A Pobra do Caraminal is likely one of the prettiest towns in Spain. It is known for its picturesque town center, its festival march and its harbor. The harbor is quite beautiful and filled with fishing boats all year. The festival march that is so famous in A Pobra do Caraminal is the Las Mortajas, which is held during the Feast of the Nazareno. During the Las Mortajas, one member of the community is chosen as the romero. A coffin is built for the romero, and he and the pallbearers he chooses carry his coffin through the streets as part of the festival. The person chosen as romero is usually someone who has expressed how his relationship with Christ has changed his life. Acting as the romero is a symbol of giving your life to God.
